Since You've Been Gone

Death. It's something that can happen to you at any moment. Whether it's quick and painless, or it's long and painful. Death is death. And once someone dies there's no way to get them back. Right?

And why am I telling you this? Because last week, my best friend died. Everyone else has been really affected by it but I just can't get it into my brain. Maybe it's because I can't seem to process what has been going on in the last couple of days or maybe it's just because I refuse to believe that my best friend is gone.

We were going to graduate in two weeks. We were going to take a gap year and travel to Europe. She'd had hopes and dreams that listed way back to when we were in grade 6.

How could I live my life knowing that all of her dreams are going to waste? How could I go on knowing that all of her dreams had been shattered?

How could I go on without her?
